About Fish, pike, walleye, raw

Walleye is a freshwater fish of North America's lakes and rivers, named for its large, glassy eyes. Despite often being called a pike, it is actually a member of the perch family, and it is widely regarded as one of the finest-eating freshwater fish — its flesh is white, fine-flaked and delicately sweet.

Walleye is lean and protein-dense, with about 93 calories per 100 grams raw, roughly 19 grams of protein and only a little over a gram of fat. It supplies vitamin B12, niacin, phosphorus and selenium. Its low fat content means a mild flavor and a clean finish, which is much of its appeal at the table.

Because the flesh is delicate, walleye is best treated simply — pan-fried in a light coating, baked, or grilled — and is a classic of shore lunches and fish fries across the northern United States and Canada. Take care not to overcook it, as the lean flesh can dry out quickly.
